    The sheer text-to-utility ratio of this bro is some kind of record

    You got your opinion, I got mine. KPJ is skilled no doubt, but Green's on a different level. If given the reins on a full time, in about the same time, he would be right there with KPJ as a lead guard with a high Ast%. Plus he's already a better shooter and a more dynamic, explosive scorer.

    P.S. A high Ast% does not necessarily mean a good PG. The more one holds the ball, the more one controls who holds that ball. Fact.

    Around the hour mark they start talking about KPJ

    Really enjoy hearing rocket personnel talk about how excited they are for KPJ this season. Really interesting to continuously hear how much the guys & front office believe in him and then read some opinions throughout the year lol

    Craig is on point knowing the team hierarchy starts with KPJ & Green. Jabari should focus on becoming the best 3&D wing in the league. He should be focused on All-Defense teams for his career

    Sengun needs to be a point-center to maximize our elite shooting and athleticism

    This thread is a good preview of the absolute dumpster fire that the game threads will be if either KPJ or Green have a bad game this year.

    Ackerman loves KPJ and knows how the org feels, I wish some of the fans here would pay attention.

    You might want to do some research on the indian wars .....

    The Comanche nearly exterminated the Apache and forced them to flee to the badlands of Mexico where they were forced to beg for peace from their enemy the Spaniards and eventually requested military protection by the Spaniards from the Comanche.

    We have been talking about KPJ on Rox Watch a lot, and @Clutch makes a very good point that guys who have the ball in their hand as much as KPJ should by proxy get 4-5 assists per game.

    And that we really would like to see KPJ get around 8, which would put him near the top 10 in the league and show growth as a PG.

    But, upon reflection, I think Scoot is going to blow up, but more in the PPG area than Assists......like I think he might be 22-23 ppg and 7 assists.....

    Which will get him a new contract, but not sure we want a guy that is ball dominant at the Point for the future.......this is tough for me, I would rather we not go back to Harden years......and would rather have multiple creators on the floor......so if KPJ can avg 8, and Jalen 6, then I am good.....but if KPJ avg 8 and Jalen only gets like 2 or 3, then it might be that they really are the same players and can we win with that?
